Gevorkian Ariats Collection Kes Kakhani 2019
Discover the Gevorkian Ariats Collection Kes Kakhani – a wine that is a true caress for the senses. This exceptional wine is crafted from the authentic Areni grape, sourced from the majestic vineyards of Vayots Dzor in Armenia. The vinification process employs a unique method reminiscent of the Italian Ripasso style: after the initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation, followed by six months of aging in new barrels made from centuries-old Armenian oak. This imparts the wine with its exceptional structure and depth. A special detail of this wine is the treatment of the grapes: after harvesting, they are dried for two to three months in vineyard barns, resulting in an intensely concentrated aroma of ripe berries. In addition, half of the grapes undergo cold maceration, giving the wine its vibrant color and lush aromatic profile. With an elegant alcohol content of 14%, the Gevorkian Ariats Collection Kes Kakhani offers a perfect balance between power and finesse. This wine is a sublime tribute to the Armenian winemaking tradition and promises an unforgettable tasting experience with every sip. Raise your glass to an authentic wine journey that warms the soul!

This wine elevates any festive occasion or refined meal to a higher level. For the best tasting experience, it is recommended to serve this wine at a temperature between 16 and 20°C. Use a large wine glass to allow its complex aromas and flavors to fully unfold.
Since its founding in 2006, Gevorkian Winery has developed into a leading player in the Armenian wine industry. The winery is known for its wide range of high-quality wines, crafted from grapes, fruits, and berries. What makes their creations so special are the unique climatic conditions of Armenia: with no less than 300 sunny days per year, the fruits ripen optimally, resulting in an intense sweetness and a distinctive aroma. Gevorkian Winery was the first winery in Armenia to apply modern technologies to produce wines inspired by international classics such as the Italian Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto, as well as the Canadian ice wine tradition. Thanks to their innovative approach, the winemakers at Gevorkian have also developed their own method of producing fruit wines, in which the authentic fragrance and flavor of the fruit are fully preserved. The distinctive character of Gevorkian wines is further enhanced by their exclusive presentation: elegant, decorative bottles that reflect the fruit from which the wine is made. The design of these bottles is a registered trademark of Gevorkian Winery and underscores their commitment to originality and craftsmanship.
